Question:
Does the County require a business license?
Answer:
Greenville County does not require a business license. However, contact Codes Enforcement, 864.467.7060, for a
permit if new construction; for a change of tenant; if the business will be going in an existing building; and to
see if the property is zoned correctly for its intended use. Contact individual municipalities for information on
whether a business license is required within city limits.
NOTE: While the County does not require a business license, we do require a business to file a business
registration application. There is no fee associated with the registration, but proper registration is required by
law. For more information go to Business Registration Program.
